So what is the PROFINET function? PROFINET provides a complete network solution for the field of automation communication, encompassing current hot topics in automation such as real-time Ethernet, motion control, distributed automation, fault safety, and network security. Moreover, as a cross-vendor technology, it can be fully compatible with industrial Ethernet and existing field bus technologies (such as PROFIBUS), protecting existing investments.

Note what cross-vendor means: it means that as long as you support this protocol, no matter what you are, I can connect you, and I can configure control; this effectively expands the application range of Smart 200 and makes it more flexible in application. The Smart 200 can also connect to the slave station of 200 smart via PROFINET when used in large controls of Siemens 300 or 400. As a lower-level product in Siemens, the practicality of 200 Smart PLC is greatly increased.
